Ôm! Hail! From Uchchakalpa;—(There was) the Mahârâja Ôghadêva. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Kumâradêva, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Kumâradêvî. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Jayasvâmin, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Jayasvâminî. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Vyâghra, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Râmadêvî. His son, who meditated on his feet, was the Mahârâja Jayanâtha, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Ajjhitadêvî.

(Line 5.)—His son, who meditates on his feet, the Mahârâja Śarvanâtha,—begotten on the Mahâdêvî Muruḍasvâminî,—being in good health, issues a command to the cultivators, beginning with the Brâhmaṇs, and to the artisans, in half of (the village of) Dhavashaṇḍikâ in the Vôṭa santika:—

(L. 8.)—“Be it known to you that this half village is, by (this) copper-plate charter, given to Chhôḍugômika, [to be enjoyed] by the succession of him (his) sons, sons’ sons, sons of the latter, &c.,—to endure for the same time with the moon and the sun; with the udranga and the uparikara; (with the privilege that it is) not to be entered by the irregular or the regular troops; with remission of all the taxes; (and) with such tribute as may accrue. And it is agreed by him (and) by me, that it is granted for the purpose of the repairs, by the above-mentioned succession (of him and his descendants), of whatever may become broken or torn, belonging to the divine goddess Pishṭapurikâdêvî, and for the maintenance of the bali, charu, and sattra.

(L. 13.)—“You yourselves shall render to these persons the offering of the tribute of the customary royalties, taxes, gold, &c., and shall be obedient to (their) commands.

(L. 15.)—“And those kings who shall be born in Our lineage,—by them this grant should not be confiscated, (but) should be assented to.”
